Weekly homework routine in my 3rd grade classroom.

I love that you've thought so hard about how much homework to give, and you are so intentional with what they're doing. I feel honored that Text Detectives are a part of your routine! Thanks so much for sharing what you do. Jenny
Do all of your students (children as i may say that) are getting only this sort of intelligent graphical homework? My niece is know in 3-d grade and her father literally had to order her homework from site like this. It wasn't so hard, but he simply had no time to do it with her.
that's cool that you try to help people to do their homework. Not all the people are good at studying and i believe that they really appreciate to you. Finance Homework Help | Statistics Homework Help
I do agree with your point that homework is the essential part of the school. Sometimes students don't get time to complete this just because of overloaded assignment and many other works. There Are some companies which offer get papers done facility and provides professional to complete your task in a very good manner. So you can take help with that.

Today I’m chatting all about my personal homework evolution and how I changed a negative into a big positive in my classroom. I have been posting a lot of photos on my Instagram and Facebook account about these changes and my (and my students) excitement over this revolution. With that, I’ve have had a lot of feedback and questions from all of you. I’m hopefully that I covered everything that you are all wondering about so let’s start from the beginning…
Having homework trouble? Pin it to save!
Homework. Just the word used to make me shake my head! Like most of us, we have been doing homework for the majority of our lives. Starting in elementary, middle and high school, I remember textbooks, page numbers to read/do, and thick packets of work. In college, I recall articles and textbooks to read, and papers upon papers to write. Even as a teacher, I dreaded homework. The students never did it. The parents expected and demanded it (mostly because they too have been doing homework for years and that’s just what you do in school). Then there is me, caught in the middle of this love/hate relationship with homework.
As you can see, there is way too much negativity up there so I knew I needed to change something. First, I decided to completely scrap everything I’ve ever done with my 3rd grade homework, and thought about the basics of what I wanted my students to do while they were home. I thought back to when I taught Kindergarten and used to give monthly HW packets from Kelly’s Kindergarten . The skills we covered in class that month were embedded within this monthly packet. Yes, it was a packet but there was a ton of flexibility for the families of my students. They could do their one page a night, double up and/or work on the go. At the end of the month, my kiddos would bring back their packets and earn stickers for completing their work. Simple. I decided to jump back to that thinking but with third grade goggles instead. I knew I wanted my students to practice reading, writing and math at home. I knew I wanted them to continue to read at home for 25 minutes a night.
I knew I wanted the flexibility of giving a weekly packet out on Monday and not seeing it again until the following Monday (versus turning in a paper every single day for Ms. Sanchez to colle… I mean correct). I wanted the flexibility back for my families who had multiple things going on every night. I wanted families to divvy up the work they wanted to complete at home, on their own schedules. I knew I didn’t want them to spend a lot of time at home working on these because frankly they are 8 and 9 year olds who need a break too! Ultimately this is how my Weekly Packets were (re)born.
They were created on half sheets of paper, which save paper and time (2 for the price of one, anyone?). They draw the students in because they are much smaller than their old homework ways. They have a coloring option when they complete their nightly reading (who doesn’t like to color?)
Yes, these are packets. Yes, they are not individualized based on every lesson in my classroom. But they can be!
Each morning, we gather at the carpet for homework check. It’s quick, taking only a couple minutes, and simple. My homework checker says “Stand up if you did your reading last night”. My kiddos stand, we count, they sit back down. Next, the homework checker says “Stand up if you completed one page from your packet.” Repeat the above.
On Mondays, students come in and we meet for morning meeting. We quickly do our homework check for Friday’s homework (see above!). While they are unpacking for the morning, they turn in their previous weeks homework packets to my mailbox.
With my area prepped with homework punch cards, hole punch and brag tags, I quickly go through the homework in my mailbox, paying attention to their answers. If someone left a page blank, I call their name up and go over it with them. I make a plan with them to complete the page. I call the rest of the students who have turned it in. A complete packet earns 5 punches on their HW Club Punch Cards for the five days of week and a brag tag . These few incentives are free and easy to manage within your classroom.
You decide what works for you. Once I’ve created these packets , you should be able to interchange them for any month you teach a certain subject. For example, we are working on Fractions in my classroom right now (found in my March Weekly Packets ), but maybe you are working on Place Value. No problem! Pull the math pages from my December Weekly Packets (where we focused on Place Value) and supplement them in for the month you need. I’ve specificity created a math and ELA frame so they could jump around. And if you need to tweak a few things here, there or even create something completely different… I’ve created a Editable Homework Packet . The weekly covers are the only things that tie to the monthly themes. You as the teacher have the flexibility you need with these packets.
Printing is simple with these half sheets. It will cut down on paper and time. Simply copy double sided with the staple option on double staple on the left. Once you are done with your copies, all you will have to do is cut them in half and pass out!
I’ve asked my parents to be honest with me in regards to the (drastic) change in homework. The great thing is that a lot of them reached out on their own to say they love the difference. They are finding the content matches with my lessons and their child’s abilities. They are also loving the flexibility these packets have during the week. I know one of my students has soccer every Monday and Wednesday, so she doubles up on Tuesday and Thursday to complete them on time. They are still getting authentic homework but with tons more flexibility.
I’ve seen my classroom’s attitude about homework completely change in the last couple of months since I’ve implemented these Weekly Homework Packets. I’m not getting students running up to me every morning with excuses why they didn’t do it. Lucky for me, I have the majority of my classroom doing their homework every. single. night. and best of all, they are excited about it. I don’t have students staying in for recess every day. That gives me the break I need and the freedom they need! The benefits are endless. I’m happy to say that I finally have something in place that is easy on me (prep and classroom time in mind), fun for my students (but still has them using the skills they learn in class), and satisfies the parents and their “traditional” expectations.
Alexis porter, 9 comments on homework in my third grade classroom.
I have a love/hate relationship with homework packet too. I send it home on Monday and it's due on Friday (I teach 1st). I feel that the time after school is so short and I want the students to still be able to have family time. I love how your homework packets are 1/2 page. I have all of my homework packets organized for the year but now I kind of want to make my owning 1/2 size to save paper!
Yes!! There is the best thing I've done for both my students and I. They aren't as worried by seeing a half sheet anymore compared to a full sized one. Plus, it makes coping SO easy! You should be able to make a full size sheet into 2 halves on your copier. You can find my option under "special features" and I believe it's called double image. It may look different on yours!
I recently switched to homework packets, also… and it has been such a blessing! The kids are completing assignments on a more regular basis! I love love love your punch cards! We have similar ones for our management system, but to have one for homework?! I LOVE IT! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your drastic changes!!
Best, Tiffany Shoe Laces & Sweet Faces
Thank you for stopping by, Tiffany! It's amazing how one change can make such a difference in your classroom, I'm so glad you are finding the same in your classroom! And yes, the homework punch cards are a HUGE incentive for them! 😀 Same goes for us with coffee, right? 😉
Found the clue! 🙂 Thanks for helping create this fun hunt. P.s. I love your designs. I hope to one day be able to purchase one lol
I love this hunt! 😀 I hope to work with you in the future. 😉 <3
Homework packets are a good option. My students love getting them every week. They save time and money for me. I definitely differentiate according to ability level of the individual student.
Do you have your brag tags for homework available for download? I love this idea. Thanks!
Hey there! Due to a copyright license, I did sadly have to remove them from my shop and they are no longer available.
